The Coming Great show.

The most elaborate preparations have
already commenced for the illumination
of the city during the Minneapolis Ex'
hibltion. Work has also been progres.
sing for several weeks to get the colossal
building in order and there is every in:
dication that it will be one of the great
est shows on earth: Two great features
this year as last will be the art gallery
and the music. The former will com.
pletely eclipse that of last year in splen:
dor. the magnificent gems to be exhibited
exceeding those of last year in value
more than five times over. Instead OF
one musical organization of fame this
year, there will be no less than three,
and the judges of music and those who
know confidently, predict that the Home
talent, the Minnesota combination,
consisting of the picked men Of the Twin
cities will exceed in effectiveness all th {
others. There will be no repetition Of
that delightful state of unreadlness sc
usual to great shows on the first day o1
the present exhibition as everything will
be in place the first day just as on the
last. Sank Rapids Sentinel:

Weather Friday, the Sunday School picnic
was a very enjoyable affair, and q
success. Fourteen schools were repre-
sented, and about 800 people present.
About II o'clock the meeting was called
to order bv Mr.. Sulzer, and opened with
singing and prayer by Supt. Grimshaw,
of the Austin N. E. Sunday school.
After this the dinner table was spread,
and all entered into this part of the pro.
gram with exceeding vigor and appetites
equal to body Of harvest hands. This
part of the program was enjoyed very
much by the editor. With q generous
supply from the baskets of Mrs. Grim

out a basket, and we are going to tell on

in. Why. 1t was astonishing to see him
eat, and we do not believe he would have
quit yet. if he had not cot chicken bone
in his throat, (Which he took away from
some one) and Mr.. Sulzer had to lead
him off and extract it with a monkey
wrench.
At one o'clock the, meeting was called
to order again and speeches were made
by Rev. Archer, OF Albert Lea, Rev.
Stanley, Rev. Peabody. Prof. Cameron,
Supt. Grimshaw, Mr.. Decker, T. F..
Goslee, of the London school, and Mr..
Hart. After these exercises the meeting
was turned into q social and all enjoyed
themselves heartily for couple of hours,
Notwithstanding the rain, and went home
feeling that the meeting was success.
Some of the schools were finely decor
ated, and came in with banners flying,
the Saints Rest and Lyle schools attract
ing particular attention.
The picnic was success, and those
who attended have the satisfaction OF
having had good time. and are loud in
their praise Of Mr.. Sulzer, the Jealous
work done and the good time enjoyed.
